TL;DR Summary

An international investigation is underway following the implosion of the Titan submersible, which resulted in the deaths of five people during a dive towards the wreckage of the Titanic. Debris from the submersible, including presumed human remains, has been recovered. The use of a carbon-fiber hull is being scrutinized, as photos suggest it gave way during the incident. OceanGate Expeditions, the company operating the trips to the Titanic, is still advertising future trips despite reducing the number of dives offered. The National Transportation Safety Board plans to release a full report on the tragedy in one to two years.
